Where did Marcos complain about insufficient staff?

In fact, he just hopes to get Yang Yun's attention. As an American with rich game design experience, he was already very moved after hearing the opening mode of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3". He even thought,

Should we put Diablo 3 on the agenda now and let his team start designing this aspect immediately?

Blizzard Studios has the only task on hand to develop "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne". Their "Dark 2" passed the 1.01 test version last month and is being handed over to internal professional testers and senior testers in the gaming industry.

In-game testing, after a month, the version number has been upgraded to version 1.05.

After a few years of hard work, Dark 2 consumed a lot of energy from members of the Blizzard Dark Group. After the 1.01 version was passed, several employees asked to take at least one month off. They had to go out for a walk, or learn new knowledge and recharge themselves.

.

So just now Yang Yun said that they would like to reinforce the "Frozen Throne", and Marcos refused him without thinking. In fact, he did not short of people at all, and mobilizing and replenishing personnel was just his remarks.

In Longteng Entertainment Game Company, the only people who dare to talk to Yang Yun like this may be Blizzard. I have to say that all the games they made are high-quality and have become the biggest competitors of the local team led by Zhang Guoqiang.

, internal competitors, they are very confident.

"Mr. Yang, "Dark 2" should not be too big a problem. Can you consider developing "Dark 3" now? Can you adopt an open model like "Sword of Sword 3"?" Marcos asked, he was concerned about this

The model has a special liking.

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Don't talk about Diablo 3 for now. How could Diablo 2 be so easy? It's not a big problem to draw a conclusion? Which game does not take several years to modify? "Red Alert" has been released for many years.

Almost eight years have passed? I still don’t have a plan to develop Red Alert 2. Sometimes the time is not ripe and we can’t start the project easily.”

Yang Yun knew the experience of "Diablo 3" in his heart. In real history, Blizzard's Dark Group changed several employees and leaders, and Blizzard once disbanded the Dark Production Group. The four giants of Blizzard in the north all ran away, causing Dark fans all over the world to hurt Dark fans all over the world.

After his heart, Diablo 3 has been dying for many years, and even though he has started internal testing, he has been completely overturned by senior management. He doesn't want to review these things.

Marcos, Bill, David, Eric, the four giants in the North were forced to leave Blizzard. They were forced to abandon the dark series like their own children. Yang Yun has always felt that this is the biggest failure of Blizzard in real history. He is

He will never allow history to repeat itself. He will also hand over Dark 3 to Marcos and Bill to achieve it.

But now is not the time to think about Dark 3. Yang Yun would rather let Blizzard make the version of Dark 2 more refined.

However, he had another question, and he asked, "Marcos, I want to ask, have your group ever encountered bottlenecks when designing games? I mean, do you feel inefficient in finding inspiration?

It takes a long time to think of a question, something like that?”

Marcos's expression changed a little. He said solemnly: "This is what I want to say. After "Dark 2" was handed over to the test department last month, Eric and Bill both told me. I hope I can go out for a walk,

Watt is willing to serve as a guide to the Silk Road for us. There are many people in our department who want to go out with us."

"Ravat?" Yang Yun remembered that the weirdo of Longteng Brazilian Game Company, the chief consultant of Longteng adventure games, had just come to China to have a beautiful translator. I heard that the two were away for eight months a year.

When traveling, Longteng employees often see their adventure photos online. He is the most enviable employee in the company.

Marcos said: "That's right, it's him. He also received a promise from Toyota to help us buy the Middle East version of the land cruiser imported from Japan. Several people in our department were tempted and planned to re-take the Silk Road and explore.

Dunhuang culture, see if you can find inspiration. As you said, I have already vaguely felt some uneasiness. Although it is difficult for people to notice, I feel that these small troubles must be solved as soon as possible."

When Yang Yun heard about going back to the Silk Road, he was also moved instantly. This idea was good. He had long thought of going to the northwest to see him, but he was busy with work, and his wife had to take care of the children and couldn't get out. No matter how rich he was, he was not

It’s a place to use, you can’t count money every day to play with it, right?

"If you want to go to the Silk Road, I'm the only one. Let's talk about the issue of loss of inspiration. I think human inspiration is limited and very easy to dry up, so every programmer will have a period of time.

Time needs to accept new knowledge so that better game works can be created.

I think programmers should have a sense of innovation. "Sword of Sword" 1 and 2 are simple traditional rpg modes, turn-based, maze, dungeon, single plot, these are all bad settings used in various rpg plot games in the past.

That's why I wanted to make a complete change and make "Sword of Sword 3" an open mode.

Similarly, I think "Dark 1" and "Dark 2" are in line with each other. 2 is just an expansion and extension of 1's story, which has greatly improved the picture and operation, and the gameplay has been enhanced, but this cannot produce a revolutionary

Change. I don't want to mention "Dark 3" now. This is the reason. Marcos, I hope you and Bill can think of something different, and don't be imprisoned by your old ideas. The game we Longteng will definitely make

With the most advanced concepts in the world, we are the guides of the trend!”

After Yang Yun said this, he added: "We Longteng are private enterprises, not listed companies, so we have no performance pressure, no profit targets, and even no time requirements. Marcos, I only have high-quality products, can you understand me

?”

Marcos sighed: "Long Teng's product must be a fine product. Who in this world doesn't know this sentence? Well, maybe we should all empty our brains and accept some new things. Next month, wait for "Dark 2"

After the official listing, we will go to the northwest to explore the Silk Road and see poplar euphratica in October!”

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Bring me with me!"

...

The research and development plan of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" was accidentally spread, which immediately attracted everyone's attention and was full of interest.

There are several major events in Longteng in September that are worthy of attention from the media. One is that Lin Zhiling reappears in the public eye and leads the Longteng entertainment department. First, it is like the national primary and secondary schools that openly collect "Bubble Hall" and "Run Kart" games.

Baby, you can make them a household name game baby and a TV star without affecting their children's studies as much as possible.

The second thing is Longe CSson's smart PDA mobile phone R&D plan. Yang Yun stayed in Sweden for a week and was personally supervising the research direction of the new product of the R&D department of the new company. He didn't care after he came back, but the media

I am still very happy to see Longe CSSON turn losses into profits through the research and development of Longteng’s products. This kind of popular positive news is always the best jokes pursued by the news media.

The third thing is that Diablo 2 has entered the end of the internal test. Domestic authoritative media such as "Popular Software", "Home Computer Magazine", and "Electronic Game Magazine" have completed their respective test tasks, and have passed screenshots and text.

This game was introduced in the form, and all the review experiences were published on the latest works of each company. The dark fans were cheering and looking forward to it. They began to spontaneously count down on the official website forum, and hundreds of people signed in on time every day.

The last thing is of course the project of "Sword and Fairy 3". Although the news was circulated from Longteng, the real core content was consciously covered up, and not many people knew about "Sword and Fairy 3".

It will use the open mode, and many people think this is still a sequel to a story that changes soup but not medicine.

Editor Cheng of Computer Herald Leader once made a public bet with Yang Yun. Later, he was furiously accused Long Teng for suspected collusion with overseas consortiums. Lu Fengshan was imprisoned. Editor Cheng was fired from the newspaper. Fang Zhou defeated a group of people with his own strength.

The media people's interest group has caused a lot of trouble all over the country. At the same time, everyone knows that Editor Cheng did make a bet with Yang Yun back then, and Yang Yun himself proposed the bet. Many people have made it.

certificate.

Therefore, from the beginning of the development of "Sword of Fairy 3", people's imagination began to be imaginative, and they could not find the North at all, so they all gave advice for the Longteng Company's Sword Development Team.

There is a voting statistics post on the Xianjian District Forum of Longteng’s official website, written by the netizen “Little Butterfly Sword”. He listed five options: “Option 1: The story of Xianjian 1 and 2 continues, the pattern is the same, and the effect is enhanced;

Option 2: Online game version, changed to a type like "The Immortal Road";

Option 3: Go back five hundred years ago, the details of the battle between immortals and demons are described, and the protagonists are replaced;

Option 4: Change to a game that makes missions and adventures, and change the background to the entire fairy world to cater to European and American players.

Option 5: Other good ideas.”

There are many comments below. The real-name registered users of the forum have permission to vote. 45% of them chose option 4. Everyone was more or less affected by the matter of Editor Cheng. They thought that since Yang Yun agreed, they would definitely

no sooner said than done.

Even ordinary people can imagine that Longteng will make a makeover to this, otherwise it would not be possible to sell well across Europe and the United States. Therefore, option 5 was chosen by many netizens and put forward their own ideas. (To be continued...
